brother i d give C.Calcium Insulin and Glucose.. i mean to drive in the potassium into the cells you need insulin and so to prevent hypoglycemia you need glucose..

  #3

Calcium glucoganate to protect the heart from the hyperkalaemia
Insulin to reduce the hyperkalaemia by driving potassium into the cell
Glucose to prevent hypoglycemia from insulin effect

but the patient has hyponatremia too,rt?although its too mild.

he has hyperkalemia,not becoz of transcellular shift but due to abnormality in excretion.but yes,insulin and glucose together will serve the purpose.

but what about mild hyponatremia?


  #7

I agree that there is hyponatremia, even for hyponatremia we treat the patient with 0.9% saline rather than 3% and here the hyponatremia is not severe.

if you give 3% saline and furosemide, they will take more time to normalise potassium levels but insulin, calcium produce prompt response.

yep i too agree with c
